Back on 9/26 Jon Beilin recommended (http://www.digital-recordings.com/)as a place to get hearing testing gear. I just got my Audio-CD ($24.95) and have to recommend it to everyone if you care at all about preserving your hearing or knowing what parts of your music you're missing. It's easy to use - takes maybe 30-45 mins. once you understand the directions. But best of all it's a real eye opener (or it could be reassurance if you find you haven't had any loss). I now know my right ear is much better than my left which I would have never guessed. Now I can experiment with compensating with balance adjustments. I also now know I have some deficiencies from 5,000Hz. up so I can take that into account when I choose my playback settings.
If nothing else it gives you a baseline that you can compare periodic fututre results against so you know if you should get to the doc. or start staying away from fire engines or whatever.
One of the best things I've done since Igot serious about headphones. Thanks Jon.
